Internet pranksters superimposed Boris Johnson onto images of the new Emirates Air Line cable car, the clock face on the tower that houses Big Ben, and even the International Space Station.

One picture showed him being batted at by a playful kitten, while another showed him hanging off the finger of the Prime Minister.

The Mayor of London had been left hanging, when he got stuck on a zipwire at an Olympic event in Victoria Park.

Wearing a hard hat and waving two Union flags, he dangled in mid-air, calling for members of the public to fetch him a rope or a ladder.
